Morgan Stanley: Apple Could Earn $133 Billion a Year From Humanoid Robots by 2040 — As Big as Today’s App Store

November 7, 2025 Apple’s next multi‑billion‑dollar business may not live on a screen. A new Morgan Stanley research note making the rounds today projects that Apple could generate roughly $130–$133 billion in annual revenue from humanoid and home robotics by 2040, putting the category on par with the scale of today’s App Store and ahead of several existing hardware lines. The report—widely cited across financial and tech media—also sketches a likely first step: a tabletop, motorized home hub expected as early as 2027, paving the way for more capable robots later in the 2030s.

AI Vacuum Meltdown: Robot Channels Robin Williams in Hilarious LLM ‘Crash’

AI Vacuum Meltdown: Robot Channels Robin Williams in Hilarious LLM ‘Crash’

LLMs vs. Bots: The “Pass the Butter” Challenge Andon Labs, an AI safety and evaluation company, designed a simple experiment to stress-test modern LLMs in a physical setting. They took a basic office vacuum robot equipped with a camera and LIDAR and gave it several state-of-the-art LLM “brains.” The task was seemingly easy: fetch and pass a stick of butter to a coworker. In practice, it was split into steps: the robot had to navigate to a hidden butter package, visually confirm it was butter, locate the human recipient even if they’d moved, deliver the butter, and wait for a
